What reviewers say
“One of the favourites for me. Wonderfully layered flavours, green apples, pear, citrus lemon, lime and grapefruit; complemented by well integrated oak, vanilla and MLC roundness of butter and cream, though significantly less pronounced than in the LL Mersault.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has a lovely pale yellow color. On the nose, aromas of toasted almond and fresh apricot emerge. The mouth is subtle with notes of almond and vanilla together with a discreet oaky touch. It has a lovely length on the finish.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Louis Latour Puligny-Montrachet lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · France (7,336 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 726.
